Surveys show that the typical reader of this paper (and
typical worker on this paper) is a member of the species, the
race, the sex, the nation (once removed) and the social class
responsible for almost all of the world's misery.
Surveys show lots of other things too. they show : people
like to spend money, spend other people's nroney, spend
other people's money on themselves, give other people's
money to themselves, give other people's money to their
friends, give other people's money to dad.
But then they say that statistics lie, maybe surveys lie too.
But we won't lie: #2 TONIGHT VISIT COLOR NIGHT,
TOMORROW VISIT THE JAZZ CONCERT ... see where
your money goes.

Law faculty likely next September
by CORBET LOCKE
The establishment of a law faculty at the University of Calgary
next year is extremely likely, according to Gauntlet sources.
Formal announcement of Department of Advanced Education
approval of the faculty is expected from Minister Jim Foster
during the course of the forthcoming Legislature session.
Reasons for giving the establishment of a law faculty here
some priority include a critical lack of openings for law students
in Alberta. For example, 189 students applying for admission to
the U of A's law school last year were rejected.
priority. A pre-law society petition
found that at least 151 students are
interested in taking their legal
training here.
At an average instructional cost
of about $2000 per student, the
overall administrative cost of
carrying 60 students through three
years of the program will be
$360,000. Students who continue
their legal training at the U. of C
will, of course, be eligible for per
student grants under current cost-
sharing formulae. It is expected
that adequate supplementary
grants will be accorded to the U. o;
C to cover the cost of nucleating a
law faculty - and in addition
further private contributions to a
law library are expected.
A U. of C. law faculty is regarded
as long overdue, and is not expected to be a major budget drain
even though budget restraints are
currently required. The Universities Commission has received a
brief on the matter, and this brief
is now in the hands of the Cabinet
and has been reviewed by Mr.
Foster.
This has forced many Alberta
students to take their legal training
elsewhere, or abandon their career
expectations.
A U of C Pre-Law Society survey
recently completed found that 79 U
of C students will be eligible for
admission to law school next year -
- and under current conditions the
possibility of many of them being
forced out of their career or out of
the Province is great.
The establishment of a law
faculty at the U of C has the full
and enthusiastic support of the U of
C administration and the Alberta
Bar Association, - Dr. A.W.R.
Carrothers (U of C President and
former Dean of Law at the U of
Western Ontario) regarding the
faculty as "inevitable."
Carrothers says a law faculty at
the U of C is a vital cog in rounding
out this University's academic
programs - and its establishment
is included in an "overview" of
where the U of C is going
academically as it "firms up its
relevance and standards of accountability both within itself and
within the community at large."
He believes a law faculty is a
necessity for an academic community on an inter-disciplinary
basis as well as for the training ot
lawyers. "If you're going to have a
society you're going to have law.
The concept is not law and order
but society and justice."
The major cost of establishing a
law faculty at the U. of C will be the
provision of an adequate legal
library. However, the City has
already devoted $250,000 for this
purpose, and the Alberta Bar
Association $525,000 - which under
the Province's matching-grant
system will provide an initial
$1,550,000 for this purpose.
Instructors for the Ù. of C. law
faculty will be drawn both from the
current university staff with
qualifications in the area - and
from interested prominent lawyers
within the community who would
back-up the faculty on a part-time
basis.
It will, however, take several
years to establish a significant
faculty - and it is expected that the
faculty will grow slowly under
quotas to maintain standards and
get the faculty established on a
firm foundation - with U. of C.
students getting admission

The Students' Union will present Color Night tonight
at 7:00 pm in the MacEwan Hall Black Lounge.
To most students the only important thing about the
event is that food and drink for 75 people will be served
free.
The event is open to all students who are encouraged
to attend, so they can have a free drink and meet their

Color Night is an annual celebration, held when the
new Students' Council takes office.
Color Night costs money- and for that reason it hasn't
been held for the last two years.
All the arrangements were made by recently-

Readers of The Gauntlet might remember Fred as the
former Chairman of the Judiciary Board, candidate
for Internal V.P. reinstitutor of Students' Union
service awards, and winner of the most conveted of the
awards (keepreading).
Fred had a $500 budget.
$200 went to the Faculty of Fine Arts for a Canadian
Jazz Concert-this was budgeted for entertainment on
Color Night. The concert is at 11:00 pm tomorrow night
in the University Theatre.
$100 was spent buying Festival 72 buttons; Festival
72 was to advertise Color Night-this was budgeted to
advertise Color Night. Festival 72 didn't advertise
Color Night, but the Jazz Concert instead.
$100 was spent on trophies and certificates-
budgeted. The same awards that made the front page
of The Gauntlet, only this time they're supposed to go
to some different students, but The Gauntlet learned
that the recipients will be the same, with a few changes
to keep everyone quiet.

All students are respectfully summoned to attend.
